ZOO Digital launches ZOO Denmark as part of global growth initiative

New Copenhagen facility to support demand from clients for Scandinavian content

ZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), the leading provider of end-to-end, cloud-based localisation and media services to the global entertainment industry, today announces the launch of ZOO Denmark as the latest step in the Company's global growth initiative. The new Copenhagen-based facility becomes ZOO's Nordic hub for localisation services and includes a state-of-the-art dubbing studio which is fully integrated with ZOO's cloud-based ecosystem.

ZOO Denmark offers entertainment industry clients an in-territory hub for Danish dubbing. The Copenhagen facility will be utilised by a growing network of dubbing talent, helping to meet the capacity needs of the industry and support a significant and widespread audience demand for localised content into the region.

As part of the ZOOdubs-enabled network of recording and mixing facilities, ZOO Denmark features the highest technical requirements demanded in media localisation, and is supported by the Company's end-to-end dubbing platform, ZOOdubs, to ensure consistent audio quality and security. This consistency across in-studio and remote recording environments gives content creators and recording artists greater flexibility, choice and scalability for dubbing projects.

Stuart Green, Chief Executive Officer of ZOO Digital, said:

"Scandinavia is an important region for our clients, so we want to be right there with them - providing the choice, talent capacity and quality of services they've come to expect from ZOO. ZOO Denmark also enables us to support our cloud-based dubbing network with an in-territory base as needed, offering greater flexibility and a modern approach to dubbing. This is another important regional launch as we continue to scale and build capacity in key growth regions for our clients."

Andreas Kaj, Regional Manager, Nordics, added:

"ZOO is growing in order to reflect the needs of the entertainment industry. Our facilities, people and presence continue to expand to ensure we're always here for our clients. Nordic audiences have a relentless demand for streamed shows and movies provided by the likes of Disney+, Netflix and HBO Max. Equally, content from Denmark and other Nordic countries continues to see critical and commercial success around the world, with the region building a reputation for high-quality content with global appeal."

The launch of ZOO Denmark sees the Group continue its global expansion following the recent launches of ZOO Turkey, ZOO Korea and ZOO India. Further announcements are expected in 2022 as part of ZOO's global growth initiative.
